I know it's probably not what you're looking for, but in my family, we make synthetic potato cakes. It's basically a portion of smash or some other dessicated mashed potato powder, and some weak chicken stock (from a cube). Mix until it has a coherent sticky consistency (a bit like a sticky pastry), coat in corn flour and fry on a high heat.
However sounds like you're onto a good thing with the potato cakes made from actual potato, the recipe sounds ok, just the environmental conditions.
